This book provides a much-needed introduction to the Kyoto School
of Japanese philosophy. Robert E. Carter focuses on four
influential Japanese philosophers: the three most important members
of the Kyoto School (Nishida Kitar, Tanabe Hajime, and Nishitani
Keiji), and a fourth (Watsuji Tetsur ), who was, at most, an
associate member of the school. Each of these thinkers wrestled
systematically with the Eastern idea of nothingness, albeit from
very different perspectives.
Many Western scholars, students, and serious general readers are
intrigued by this school of thought, which reflects Japan s
engagement with the West. A number of works by various thinkers
associated with the Kyoto School are now available in English, but
these works are often difficult to grasp for those not already
well-versed in the philosophical and historical context. Carter s
book provides an accessible yet substantive introduction to the
school and offers an East-West dialogue that enriches our
understanding of Japanese thought while also shedding light on our
own assumptions, habits of thought, and prejudices."
